Septic Tank Cleaner

Maintaining a healthy septic system is crucial for a safe and clean environment.

1. What Is a Septic Tank?
   • A septic tank is a vital component of a septic system. It holds wastewater from your home long enough for solids to settle at the bottom and oil/grease to float to the surface.
   • Over time, these substances accumulate and need to be pumped out to prevent system malfunctions and environmental hazards.
2. Factors Influencing Costs:
   • Septic Tank Size: Larger tanks require more labor and time for pumping and cleaning, which affects the cost.
   • Location: If your septic tank is in a hard-to-reach area, additional equipment or labor may be necessary.
   • Waste Volume: The amount of waste impacts the effort needed for cleaning.
   • Frequency of Service: Regularly serviced tanks are usually cheaper to clean due to less accumulated waste.
